JASON Koumas has been told by his agent that he is wasting his talent in the Championship.

Cardiff are poised to offer around #2million for the Albion midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Ninian Park, but Peter McIntosh, who works on behalf of Koumas, believes he should be aiming higher.

"When Jason is in full flow, he's a fantastic player, really talented and personally I think he should be in the Premiership," said McIntosh. "What's he doing playing in the Championship?

"The Premiership is where he belongs, that's my opinion and a lot of other people's as well but the thing is most Premiership mangers don't seem to agree.

"We always get told this thing about him not tackling back, but he's not that kind of player to be honest, he's got so many other things he can bring to a team apart from that."

McIntosh continued: "But, as far as we are concerned, Jason is back at West Brom and is a West Brom player. Cardiff City have not made any kind of offer for him and until they or anyone else comes up with an offer that's acceptable to West Brom our hands are tied.

"We have to be told by West Brom that we are allowed to talk to other people. Whether he will move to Cardiff remains to be seen but if they want him they need to come up with the right deal as soon as they can."
